Commonwealth Games 2014 highlights from day seven: Hockey heartache and Dai Greene frustration

England beat Scotland in the women's hockey quarter-final, Welsh athlete Dai
Greene fails to perform and Usain Bolt denies slagging the games off

On day seven of the Commonwealth Games Usain Bolt was irate after The Times newspaper reported that he had called Glasgow's Commonwealth Games "a bit shit", ahead of his appearance in the 4x100 metres relay.

Asked if he was having a good time in Glasgow, the Jamaican sprint star reportedly replied "not really" and said that the London 2012 Olympics "were better".

But Bolt and his manager later called the claims "rubbish" and the athlete himself took to Twitter to deny the report.

"I'm waking up to this nonsense... journalist please don't create lies to make headlines," Bolt wrote on Twitter.

The sprint superstar was later seen cheering on the Jamaican netball team in a group game against New Zealand, where he joined in with a Mexican wave and told reporters the Games were "awesome".

In the men's 400m hurdles, Wales' defending champion Dai Greene, the 2011 world gold medallist who has struggled with injury since, failed to come through his heat, a lack of track time showing as he faded badly down the back stretch.

"I knew I was playing catch up from a few months ago, I didn't expect to be here but my mindset did shift a bit and I wanted to make the final but ran out of steam, sadly it wasn't to be," Greene told BBC.

In the women's hockey there was joy for England as they edged Scotland 2-1 to reach the semi-finals and a matchup with New Zealand who were too good for Canada.
